Lizardner Dave:
I think Vicki is live but all the music is pre-recorded. Unless Nick the Bard is lurking somewhere....

Wed. 11/26/08 9:06am
Vicki:
that is correct Dave. Nick the Bard is always lurking somewhere, thank WFMU for that

Petra Haden: repeatedly proving that a cappella is not necessarily bad, and can even be great!

A long-time fellow listener in VA once told me that FMU DJs went through a big a cappella-lovin' phase in the late '80s or early '90s but I wasn't sure if he was joking. If so then it was a very dry joke.

Bard is a pretty versatile guy, I wouldn't rule it out. And boy does he know how to rumba!

Vikki, sorry to confuse you with Ken. Great to hear you filling in. I knew it wasn't Ken just now when you mixed that latin Halcali. Ken doesn't mix, does he! Lovely.

Larry strapped himself to the underside of the plane, like De Niro in Cape Fear.

Larry is at home resting quietly, yet, troubled by visions of the empty Employee of the month parking space and the smell of fresh pine needles from the WFMU Christmas Party. He sighs, wishes he could've gone, and drifts into a sleeping candy induced rest. Ahhhhhhh.....

Wed. 11/26/08 9:48am
Negator:
No, not Joey Bishop, but a bad hack. He did the voice for the ant too (bad Dean Martin), but the band foor the score! Vikki you should hear this stuff. Shelley Manne, Tommy Todesco, and other wrecking crew members. Killer music...

Vick: yeah Joe's show must go on the blog. I must say I was slightly disappointed in the lame version of Rev 9. Kind of a cop out.

Hello, I am a recording.

@annie: You probably have a search redirector installed that you can remove through control panel -> add/remove programs. My day job (rather afternoon & evening job) is tech support; I'm not there yet!

@vicki: Sure that wasn't "Apache" by Thanh Tam?

@ Tom Johnson: Bagalagalaga dook dook dookabalalaga.

would that be the "dell driver reset tool"?

Good morning Vicki. At 4:05 on Swinglargo, I would like to know if the loud "thud" sound immediately following the "swoosh" sound was intentionally put there or not. There was some debate over this issue, some saying the sound was a defective edit while others say it was intentional. Only YOU know your honest intention and I would like to know if it was intentionally put there or not. Thank you. P.S. Our family loves that song!

Vicki, listening from North Carolina. Still snowing flourescent light down here. The view from my cube is incredibly depressing. I'm whistling, holding a gun to my head (the first sign of depression) enjoying your show immensely. I like the word 'banger' instead of 'sausage'.

Location: In FMU geo-coordinates, I'm barely a mile down the road from the storefronts where Big Blood did their live perf recordings.
But I ain't even working today -- just stoppng by for a minute's worth of that ol' glitchy-connection ragged fraggravatin' agony, and a day's worth of fat howlin' regret at not hearing this full program. Road time -- Happy Feast to all.

Wed. 11/26/08 10:58am
(mta) Tony:
Thank you for clarifying that issue, Vickie. While we're disappointed in the sound, I'm glad to know my ears and opinion were correct all along and I'll pass your admission along to those who doubted me. Like so many others, we really love that song. Happy Thanksgiving! - Anthony

Hitler was actually sick last week, too. We say full stop when we are whistling, hit by flying leftover spicy mock duck. I knew that Ken was out today, but I don't wanna lose control of my bowels. She said, go to the bathroom, and laughed in her special way. The smell of fresh pine needles from the bagpipes and a pile of poo. Let the children play, don't read the bumps on my head. Sorry to confuse you it was a very dry joke.

Wed. 11/26/08 11:05am

I hope we all feel better soon.

Like the maths questions which keep getting longer and longer and harder...it makes your mouth turn green. Turn around and put your hands in a big hall. Trying this sleeping candy thing for the first time. Play stairway to flourescent light. Beautiful and great for mixing too, what the kids call epic. It was intentionally put secretly under my desk twice this past week.

I think tinny is something that happens to small ears on the continent when Schmolli is off Schmool. Ken.

Vicki, what's the history of this "Part Of The Problem" song?

irene:
the comet (cleanser) song
to the tune of Bridge on the River Kwai:

Comet! It makes your teeth turn green
Comet! It tastes like gasoline
Comet! It makes you vomit
So get some Comet and vomit today!

classic summer camp 60s song

Wed. 11/26/08 11:31am
Vicki:
Vince, I don't know except I like the version that I play cos it's all cassetty. Caschetti.

This music is going well with the comments at the moment. Not the other way around. Wish we'd got into talking complete shite a couple of hours ago, so sad to leave in half an hour.

back in a sec

Cecile:
I think a lot of things would be better for vomiting, like ipecac. Comet has tons of bleach, not so good for the esophagus. For vomiting, I recommend ipecac.
It's just a stupid kids song with a kind of weird genius to it. Who thought Comet, vomit and the River Kwai would work together?

Wed. 11/26/08 11:36am
vince:
Oh, I thought you were talking about "Compencina"

If someone remade the Von Sudenfeld track, would it be "Rhinohead Revisited"? V, your show has been the only good part of my otherwise loathesome morning. Many thanks and if I don't get to say so later, farewell and see you again soon.

Ken:
Kenny hates the comments thread because he can't take getting negative feedback during his show. So I will set up a comments thread on Kenny's show now without his knowledge and then we should all jump on that and say really nice things to Kenny.

Wed. 11/26/08 12:09pm

Ken - start it up!

Wed. 11/26/08 12:10pm

Is everybody ready? Let's see if we can 50 positive, complimentary comments to Kenny's playlist before he notices and shuts it down.
